Back to Saints | A Celebration of Connection

Building on the success of the inaugural Back to Saints, St Peter’s College is delighted to present a program that brings together old scholars to reconnect with old friends, revisit cherished memories and experience how the School has evolved over the years.

Old scholars and their families are warmly invited to join us this November for a five-day celebration of our old scholars, traditions and community.  

The Headmaster, together with the staff and students looks forward to showcasing the life of the School today through a curated program of events from Wednesday 4 November to Sunday 8 November 2026. Attend Senior School Muster, step inside classrooms during a School in Action Tour, celebrate Milestone Reunions and reconnect with fellow old scholars at a range of social, cultural and community gatherings.

Back to Saints is more than a series of events; it is a celebration of connection. It honours generations of old scholars who have lived the School's values beyond these walls and fields, and who continue to gather, mentor and give back to the community that helped shape them.
